Chapter 1: The call

Takes place right after graduation; this is my take on how the Rory/ Jess situation should have gone down.

Rory's Graduation was over and she walked over to Lorelei with frown on her face.

"So, how's my little graduate? By the way, your speech was amazing honey." As she was speaking, Lorelei noticed that she wasn't as happy as she should have been. "What's wrong hun? Are you alright, are you dehydrated from the lack of coffee and need to find some this very instant? Come on tell me what's the matter."

"I don't know mom," Rory whimpered "I'm just a little depressed.

"Come on, you can tell me sweetheart"

"Ok, well when I was making my speech, everything I said in it was true and I can't tell you how much it meant to me to look out at your face to see your reaction, but." Rory trailed off.

"Come on"

"OK, well I just couldn't help being upset that Jess wasn't there looking out at me too"

"Oh, I see. I probably should have expected this; you can't just get over someone in a couple of days. But, as much as I would like to give you some motherly advice at the moment, today is your graduation day and there is an ice cream cake at home with your name on it that is in serious distress, for, my dear, it is melting as we speak."

"What! You're having a party for me?! This is amazing mom, I love you," Rory said as she and Lorelei embraced. "Well I guess I can try to put my grief on the back burner and just have some fun today."

"That's the spirit" Lorelei exclaimed as she broke into a bad rendition of a cheer.

After about five more minutes of schmoozing with some Chilton classmates, Rory and Lorelei headed home to find their house full of friends and family. As they arrived, they spotted Kirk decked out in a huge graduation cap costume. Kirk ran up as they stepped out of the car. "Why do you look so upset?" asked Rory

"How would you feel if you were wearing a 60 lb. Cap? And, besides, these tights cause chaffing. Chaffing is perhaps my least favorite word...besides toast; I just don't like that word. Oh by the way happy graduation. I'm sorry but I gotta get out of this suit, Babbette is trying to take a picture of me"

Kirk ran away and a few minutes later, Babbette ran off in his direction.

"Mom, why would Kirk dress up in a cap for me?"

Lorelei simply smiled and said "$50 dollars and a promise that I would let him have coffee with me."

"Mom!"

"I know. I know; I'm a goddess and you'll repay me later in your life, I know!"

They entered the house and had a great time. The party went off with out a hitch, except for the occasional Miss Patty hitting on Mr. Gilmore incident, but besides that it was great. The cake even survived

Later that night, exhausted, Rory retired into her room, tuned off the light and tried to go to sleep. It didn't work. She was so mixed up inside, having thoughts of Jess and trying to suppress them was more than she could handle. Just then, her thoughts were interrupted when her cell phone rang.

"Hello, Rory speaking"

"Rory, It's Jess. Please don't say anything because that will just make this harder."

The harsh sound of his voice startled her. She hadn't heard it in so long that it seemed ghostly to her.

"I just wanted to call you and explain everything. First I wanted to wish you well on your graduation day. I know that you probably hate me, but I just had to say that I'm happy for you. Also, I wanted to say that I am sorry. I realize now that it was wrong for me not go to you for help and just running away. But, you must understand that I was afraid and when you have a girlfriend who is as smart as you; it's hard to admit you're a failure. But, that's all in the past now. I'm in California and I'm not coming back. It's for your own good to not be with me. I'm just trouble for you. Well I gotta go. Have a good life. I love you"

"Jess, I lov-"But, Rory's statement was cut off by a click on the other side.

A/N: So that was my first chapter ever! I hope it was ok and please, please, please review!! Btw, sorry for the cliff hanger
